Oijogja Pillar of the Community United States 715 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 3:45 pm Thanks John, that at least shows variances for the penny and nickel. I wonder why it doesn't include any other coins, though. Report this Post to the Staff

Oijogja Pillar of the Community United States 715 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 3:51 pm No, occasionally a coin seems heavier or lighter to me in hand. So mostly curiosity on if these coins would be within the mint's limits were I to weigh them. Report this Post to the Staff
